Hockey Canada has done some testing and now say that the "STOP" stickers can be applied to helmets. We have ordered some and will be distributing them to all minor players early next season.
The Safety Towards Other Players (STOP) Program began in Windsor eleven years ago in hopes of raising awareness of the dangers of checking from behind in hockey.
The STOP Program helmet decal is another method to promote awareness that checking from behind is not acceptable in hockey. The STOP Program patch and helmet decal's purpose is a visual reminder for players for when they see the STOP symbol, they should immediately STOP from hitting the opposing player from behind.
